Re: my ranting day

thanks. Wondering is a big safety issue with folk with this illness cause they think they have to get there and so they are driven almost like salmon going up river to get there because they don't know where they are but know that is a safe place for them.

is her dad regestered with the national safe return program?

here is a link to it.

Re: my ranting day

I'm certainly going to mention it to her!!! Thanks for the link!! I read somewhere that they now make little GPS things to sew into their clothing so they can be located anywhere. They gotta be expensive, though.

And it's too bad you can't just slip her some benedryl at bedtime!!!

Hi 2Big. Sorry you are having such a hard time. I'm sorry about your mom. I wish I could help you in some way, but any time you want to come here and rant (and rant and rant and rant) (and which you have every right to do) we'll be here to listen. {{{{{2Big}}}}}}}.

Re: my ranting day

thanks red, both of you.

They have scholarships and grants for help paying for the stuff they need. Tell her to check with your local chapter. they have a catalog full of stuff they need and stuff i never thought of.

Actually she is like me and benydril wires us wide awake and can't stay still.

Ya know...

Most stores sell an amazing product called duct tape. Any time DS keeps getting out of bed I duct tape him to the sheets. Works like a charm...

and OF COURSE I'm kidding!!! Don't call child welfare on me....

Re: my ranting day

You poor love! It sounds as though you are doing a wonderful job looking after your Mum. My partner's Mum is very bad, when we go there she keeps saying to his Dad "Who is that woman?" (me!), and although she can barely walk keeps trying to wander about on her own and has nasty falls.

So we are all sending hopefully heartening thoughts - wish I could come and do a day for you do you could sleep. Keep your chin up.
